Blue

Blue is an artist who lives on Coriol with his partner Pepper.

Appearance and personality
Blue (originally Laurian) was born in Aganon, an Enhancement Colony, and was genetically engineered to be a politician. He is tall and slim, though not as thin as Pepper. He has golden brown skin and unnaturally green eyes.

Blue is calm, soft-spoken and empathetic. He has a minor speech impediment.

A Closed and Common Orbit
As a child, Blue was banished to a landfill on Aganon to monitor a junkyard factory because of a speech impediment that stopped him from fulfilling his purpose. He spent his time at the factory in a single room, monitoring the facility and making art. There, he met Pepper (then Jane), and agreed to help get fuel for a ship she was repairing if she would take him with her when she left.

Blue and Pepper left the planet and traveled to the Galactic Commons. From there, they got a job on a transport ship and traveled to Port Coriol, where they made their home. During this time Blue and Pepper became very protective of one another and romantically involved.

When he and Pepper first met, speaking was hard for him. He still has a stammer as an adult, but is able to express himself quite well. Blue is an artist and has a small stall in the art district called Northwest Window. He helps Sidra come to terms with living in her physical body by painting a portrait of her, and goes with Pepper when she and Sidra rescue Owl.

Pepper
Blue and Pepper are romantic partners who share a modest house in Sixtop, Coriol's modder district. The circumstances under which they met have made them fiercely protective of each other.

Sidra
Blue and Sidra become friends after Pepper brings Sidra home to live with them on Coriol. Blue's calm, kind and empathetic demeanor help make Sidra feel more at ease with her situation.
